Svalbard & the Arctic Circle

A completely different world to Antarctica, but wild and beautiful in its own way. The Arctic Circle is very special. Nothing can quite describe the feeling as you gently cut through sea ice, in search of Polar bears. The way your heart pounds in that moment you finally see one is extraordinary.
